Ultimate Matcha & Chocolate Brownies

I love a rich and gooey raw brownie, especially with a cup of almond matcha latte. So I thought: why not combine them in one delectable dessert? I used homemade almond milk and raw cacao butter to make a thick, creamy “latte” frosting, which pairs beautifully with the slightly bitter, earthy notes of matcha tea.
